BY MARK KINGWe are well into June and the shing on Lake Okeechobee is still pretty good with bass being caught on arti cial lures as well as a few on wild shiners. The lake level has gone up to 11.77 feet above sea level, which is over two feet higher then it was this time last year. With the rain that we have been receiving it should go up even higher. The water temperature has been pretty high and the air temperature isn't much better. The early morning bite seems to be the best but you can still catch a few bass in the heat of the day, even if they are smaller. During the hot summer months here in South Florida, I prefer to get out early and don't really recommend using live bait. I have much better success using arti cial lures. I have still been shing a large portion of the lake from King's Bar to Pelican Bay with the deciding factor being the wind. Areas like King's Bar, the outside of Indian Prairie, Horse Island, and Bird Island have all been good up north and down south the airport hole. Norman's channel, the spoil island out the Clewiston channel, and the spoil island out Uncle Joe's have all been good places to sh. It is summer time in South Florida and the bass shing is slower than what it is during the winter months, but there are still plenty of bass to catch. I have been using mostly soft plastic worms to catch bass this time of the year with the Gambler Ace being my go to bait in the summer. I Carolina rig it, sh it Texas rigged, and also use it wacky style to catch bass from deep water to very shallow. I have also been catching bass on a lipless crankbaits and the Gambler 5" Paddle tail worm. As you can see, summer shing on Okeechobee doesn't require a lot of different tackle. I have also been guiding for tarpon in the Florida Keys with good success this past couple months and as this will start to slow down and only a few resident tarpon will be in the area, I will be offering shark shing trips as well as some snapper shing. There are still some nice tarpon to be caught all summer long in the Keys but the numbers of sh will be less. I want everyone to get out on the water this summer but a couple things to keep in mind is drink plenty of water and use sunscreen throughout the day during this time of the year. Be sure and keep an eye on the weather as storms can move in very quickly. Until next time, tight lines, good luck, and I hope to see everyone on the water soon.Captain Mark King is a full time guide an d tournament angler guiding out of the worl d famous Roland Martins Marina and Resort in Clewiston, Florida, and also in the Florida Keys out of Marathon area.

According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, your health outcomes are determined by the following: 10 percent medical care (which includes dental); 20 percent environment; 20 percent genetic; 50 percent based on healthy behaviors. Speci cally, those healthy behaviors include: Eating a healthy diet. Choose more fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Exercise. You don't need to be a long distance runner to get the healthy bene ts. A good walk every day will do. Don't use tobacco. The United States has reduced tobacco use by signi cant proportions, but death rates from the effects of tobacco use are still too high. Limit your alcohol intake. Avoid substance abuse in all forms. Get enough rest. Too much rest or too little rest can often indicate other issues such as depression. Avoid risky behaviors. (Always think safety. Wear a seatbelt, use a condom during sex, wear a helmet while riding a bike) Decrease your stress levels. (Take your pet for a walk, read a book, relax with a friend, do something that makes you feel happy!) Make regular visits to your healthcare provider. Sometimes they can spot health issues before they become a major problem. Making small changes over time can get you and your family on a healthy track. You can make a difference in the quality of your health. Prevention is the best medicine. Scienti c research continues to con rm that weight control, good nutrition, exercise, and supplementation can positively impact how you feel right now, as well as your health in the future. We Can Make a Difference in Our Health Hendry Regional Medical Center is joining the Better Hearing Institute (BHI) in urging people to use sound judgment and ear plugs in celebrating the 4th of July, America's noisiest day of the year. The single bang of a recracker at close range can permanently damage hearing in an instant. Hendry Regional and BHI also are encouraging people to protect their hearing when participating in other loud, summertime activities, including concerts, stock car races, the use of lawn mowers and power equipment, shooting practice, power boating, and when listening to MP3 players and other electronic devices with earbuds and headphones. Noise is one of the most common causes of hearing loss. Ten million Americans have already suffered irreversible hearing damage from noise, and 30 million are exposed to dangerous noise levels each day. Children are most vulnerable. "Noise-induced hearing loss can be life-changing, but it also is highly preventable," says Dr. Andrea Livingston, the new audiologist at Hendry Regional Medical Center. "That's why this 4th of July, the hospital is raising awareness within the community of the risk that reworks pose to hearing. People are encouraged to leave the reworks to the professionals and to use earplugs when attending reworks celebrations." Disposable ear plugs, made of foam or silicone, are typically available at local pharmacies. They're practical because you still can hear music and the conversation of those around you when you have them in your ears, but when they t snuggly, they're effective in adequatel y blocking out dangerously loud sounds. Hendry Regional also reminds the public that regular hearing checks are critically important for detecting earl y hearing loss and for getting appropriate help in order to minimize the negative impact that unaddressed hearing loss can have on quality-of-life. BHI offers a free and con dential online hearing check (http://www.hearingcheck. org/) where people can quickly assess if they need a more comprehensive hearing test by a hearing professional. Numerous studies have linked untreated hearing loss to a wide range of physical and emotional conditions, including impaired memory and ability to learn new tasks, reduced alertness, increased risk of personal safety, irritability, negativism, anger, fatigue, tension, stress, depression, reduced income, and diminished psychological and overall health. "Prevention is so critical to preserving our hearing, especially for children who are at highest risk for noise-induced hearing loss," says Sergei Kochkin, PhD, BHI's Executive Director. "So make sure your family and friends fully enjoy the summer and 4th of July festivities by celebrating smart; leave the reworks to the professionals. Stay a safe distance away, and pack the earplugs. Remember: close to 40 percent of hearing loss is preventable with proper protection." HRMC Warns Against Hearing Injuries

2 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee May 27, 2010 5 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee June 28, 2012 BY GENE MCAVOY UF/IFAS Hendry County ExtensionA word of advice to farmers and ranchers as w e move into our summer season it is that time of year again it is just plain hot and it is easy to get into weather related problems. In addition, the rainy season is here and chance of lightening is increased. As the heat index rises with the summer approaching; farmers, ranchers, and agricultural contactors should monitor all workers and make sure that adequate water is available for drinking. Heat related illness takes the lives of several workers in Florida each year. Heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States, resulting in hundreds of fatalities each year. In fact, on average, excessive heat claims more lives each year than oods, lightning, tornadoes, and hurricanes combined. Here are some tips for dealing with heat related issues:Heat ProblemsRemember To Drink Before You Feel Thirsty! Heat related illnesses like heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, can all be avoided by taking in plenty of uids including water or sports drinks, relocating to a cooler environment, and stretching or massaging cramped areas of your body gently.Heat CrampsRest in a cool place, drink sports drink, and stretch the cramped muscle.Heat ExhaustionHeat exhaustion, which is a more serious condition and follows heat cramps, is the inability of the body to cool itself down. Individual is hot and sweaty. Contributing factors include dehydration, alcohol use, and being overdressed. In order to overcome this issue, you should cool yourself down by misting with cool water or a shower, or loosen tight tting clothing to allow the skin to breathe.Move the victim to a cool place, give the person sports drinks, lay them down, and elevate their legs, remove excess clothing, sponge with cool water, and fan the person. If there's no improvement within half an hour, call 911.Heat StrokeIndividual is clammy and dry. This is the big one! This one can, and does, kill. Heat stroke, de ned by the Mayo Clinic as a core body temperature of 104 degrees or higher, is something growers working in the elds are at risk of. Heat illness requires immediate attention to avoid serious complications, so knowing the symptoms is key. If you notice you are having symptoms such as headache/nausea, rapid breathing and pulse, confusion, loss of consciousness, or ceasing to perspire, get help immediately. In addition, to prevent heat stroke from occurring, avoid sitting in parked cars where temperatures can raise quickly, be sure to wear temperature-appropriate clothing, drink plenty of hydrating uids, and avoid working in the hottest part of the day. Call 911 immediately even if the victim seems to be improving; move the victim to a cool place, remove excess clothing, keep the head and shoulders slightly elevated, fan the victim and spray with water, place ice packs under the arms, by the groin and sides of the neck where the big veins are. Ice will help cool the blood. Here is a link to more info on avoiding heat related illness from the National Weather Service www.nws.noaa.gov/om/heat/index.shtml With summer comes our daily thunderstorms and lightning! Lightning strikes kill 75 100 people annually in the United States and we are luck y enough to live and work in Florida the lightning "Capitol." Please make sure your employees are aware of the dangers of lightning and that your supervisors monitor the weather daily to plan their activities. During this time of year thunderstorms can be a daily occurrence and a safety hazard to eld workers. Florida has about one million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes each year. The number one area for fatalities is in open elds, followed by water related areas, under trees, and while driving equipment like farm tractors. These occur mostly in the months of June and July in the afternoon at about 3:45 p.m. For more info on lightning safety go to www. lightningsafety.noaa.gov. For more information on these and other agricultural safety issues, feel free to contact the Hendry County Extension Service at 863-674-4092 or 863-983-1453 or email gmcavoy@ifas.u .edu. Southwest Florida Ag Update: From Be Safe This Summer

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection received noti cation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that the permit and associated projects the Department submitted on June 6, satisfy all of EPA's previous objections and are suf cient to achieve the stringent water quality requirements for the Everglades. This action paves the way for the Department to move forward with the state's permitting process to implement a historic plan including an achievable strategy and enforceable schedule for constructing an array of treatment projects and associated water storage to improve water quality in the Everglades. Last October, Governor Rick Scott directed DEP Secretary Herschel T. Vinyard Jr., and South Florida Water Management District Executive Director Melissa L. Meeker to work collaboratively with EPA to expand water quality improvement projects and achieve the ultra-low state water quality standard established for the Everglades. Months of scienti c and technical discussions led to the comprehensive plan, which the Department will enforce through state-issued permits and consent orders that include milestones for project completion, as well as enforcement mechanisms to ensure the milestones are met. The plan calls for the District to construct approximately 6,500 acres of additional stateof-the-art stormwater treatment areas and close to 110,000 acre-feet of associated water storage. Many core project components will be designed, constructed and operational within six years. "Governor Scott recognizes both the environmental and economic importance of a healthy Everglades, which is why he made Everglades restoration a top priority for the state," said Secretary Vinyard. "Thanks to EPA's expeditious review of our revised permit, we are moving forward on a comprehensive plan that is in the best interest of the Everglades and Florida's taxpayers." As part of the implementation process, the Department last week submitted to EPA a revised National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, along with an associated consent order, that authorizes the operation of 57,000 acres of existing Stormwater Treatment Areas south of Lake Okeechobee. Because EPA reviewed and agreed the revised permit meets the previous objections, the state will continue to move forward with its open and transparent permitting process. Next, the Department will issue a Notice of Draft, followed by Notice of Intent to Issue the Clean Water Act National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit and state-issued Everglades Forever Act permit and associated consent orders, which are subject to administrative review under state law. "This integrated plan will clean up water to protect the unique wetland system that makes up the Everglades Protection Area," said District Executive Director Meeker. "With a rm commitment to design, construct and operate a comprehensive and sciencebased suite of remedies, the District is taking a landmark step toward meeting the water quality needs of America's Everglades. We will continue to work closely with our federal partners to nalize and implement these important projects." Highlights of the strategies include: Design, construction and completion of 90 percent (99,000 acre-feet) of the required associated storage within four years. Capable of storing 32 billion gallons of water, the Flow Equalization Basins will be located adjacent to existing stormwater treatment areas in the Everglades. This advanced combination of "green" technologies will better optimize water deliveries to new and existing treatment facilities, allowing water managers to treat runoff to extremely low levels of phosphorus for the rst time in the state's environmental history. Doubling the size of Stormwater Treatment Area 1-West adjacent to the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. The District will construct 4,700 acres of additional treatment by 2018 and start construction on another 1,800 acres that same year. This expansion spanning ten square miles will increase by 50 percent the treatment capacity of water quality facilities currently discharging into the Refuge. Improving treatment in the western Everglades by adding 11,000 acre-feet of associated storage in the C-139 Basin that is capable of storing 3.5 billion gallons. Improving the operation of existing treatment wetlands in the western Everglades by retro tting 800 acres of constructed wetlands in Stormwater Treatment Area 5. State-issued and enforceable Everglades Forever Act and Clean Water Act permits, including stringent discharge limits, for each of the District's stormwater treatment areas. A robust science plan to ensure continued biological, ecological and operational research to improve and optimize the performance of water quality treatment technologies. The District's constructed wetlands and ow equalization basins utilize cutting-edge science and engineering and are the largest of their kind in the nation. Utilizing thousands of acres of land already in public ownership, which minimizes impacts to Florida's agricultural-based economy and accelerating construction of new projects. Regional source controls in areas of the eastern Everglades where phosphorus levels in runoff has been historically higher. Creation of approximately 1,550 direct jobs and 15,350 indirect jobs through construction of these facilities. To protect the Everglades' unique makeup of ora and fauna, the Department established a stringent phosphorus water quality standard of 10 parts per billion (ppb). This ultra-low phosphorus limit for the Everglades is six times cleaner than rainfall and 100 times lower than limits established for discharges from industrial facilities. To reduce nutrient pollution to the Everglades and achieve state and federal water quality requirements, the District constructed massive treatment wetlands known as Stormwater Treatment Areas that use plants to naturally remove phosphorus from water owing into the Everglades. State law also requires best management practices on the 640,000 acres of agricultural land south of Lake Okeechobee. More than 45,000 acresor 70 square milesof treatment area are today operational and treating water to average phosphorus levels of less than 40 ppb and as low as 12 ppb. The District is completing construction of an additional 11,500 acres this month. Together with best farming practices, stormwater treatment areas have prevented more than 3,800 tons of phosphorus from entering the Everglades since 1994. This past year, the treatment wetlands treated 735,000 acre-feet of water and reduced the total phosphorus loads to the Everglades Protection Area by 79 percent. This plan to improve water quality builds upon Florida's $1.8 billion investment in Everglades water quality improvements to ensure achievement of the 10 ppb ambient water quality standard for the Everglades Protection Area. The schedule for implementing new projects balances economic realities with engineering, permitting, science and construction limitations. The plan proposes to utilize a combination of state and district revenues to complete the projects. 2 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee May 27, 2010 Obituaries should be submitted by sending e-mail to obits@newszap.com.

BY MARGARET ENGLAND Hendry/Glades AudubonWhite Ibis are highly sociable birds who are often seen foraging in ocks and nesting in large colonies. They are one of the most numerous resident wading birds; however their numbers are declining in Florida. White Ibis are designated as a "State-designated Species of Special Concern" by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Adult White Ibis are about 22-27 inches tall. They are smaller than Wood Storks and larger than Cattle Egrets. Adults have a long, downcurved, bright, red bill and long red legs. Adult plumage is white with black wing tips which are usually only visible when they are in ight. Their neck is outstretched when in ight. These Ibis will y in strings while apping and gliding and often soar in circles. Immature birds are shaped like the adults. Fledglings have largely brown plumage with only the upper wing and underparts being white. They reach adult size and weight at around two years of age. This bird's call is a harsh nasal "umk, umk." White Ibis forage for food in shallow water, commonly feeding in fresh water marshes, mud ats, ooded pastures, grassy elds, or on lawns. They feed mainly on cray sh and crabs, but will also eat insects, snakes, frogs, and sh. These birds nd food by torch when they sweep their bill from side to side or at other times by sight. White Ibis may steal food from each other or have their food stolen by larger bird species. White Ibis usually breed in large mixed-species colonies located over standing water in a variety of habitats including mangroves, swamps, and freshwater marshes or on coastal islands. The breeding pair builds the nest, with the male bringing most of the materials and the female constructing the nest. The round nest of sticks, reeds, and grasses is built at ground level or up to 50 feet above ground. Both parents take turns incubating the one to four cream-to-greenish colored eggs which hatch in about three weeks. They feed the young regurgitated food. The edglings may leave the colony to forage with the adults at about seven weeks of age. During the rst Breeding Bird Atlas Survey there were very few reports of breeding White Ibis in inland Florida and no con rmed breeding records for Hendry County. Breeding Bird Atlas #2 surveys for 2012-2016 are underway. Volunteers are needed to report breeding birds in the Priority #6 Blocks in inland Florida including White Ibis. Ninety percent of the data collection is done between May 1 and July 31. Once a species if con rmed breeding in a block the observers then try to locate other breeding species.

When it comes to marketing, the tobacco industry is adept at attracting users and making tobacco use seem glamorous and care-free, which often appeals to youth and young adults. It seems they are always a step or two ahead of efforts to discourage or prevent tobacco initiation among teenagers and children. A few years ago the industry began marketing sweetly avored tobacco products which are w rapped in bright packaging very similar to many candy products. This marketing tactic can make these products more attractive to minors. These products can be engineered so that they release less nicotine which minimizes feelings of sickness for novice users. This paired with a sweeter avor makes these products more palatable for those experimenting with tobacco use quite often y outh. Tobacco-free initiatives have been working hard to counteract this latest tactic and educate minors, parents, and retailers about the addictive nature and the health risks associated with all tobacco products, whether avored, smokeless, or otherwise. A minor who has no access to tobacco products during adolescence has more time to learn about the harmful consequences of tobacco use and make an informed decision upon reaching adulthood. Almost 90 percent of adult tobacco users began using before age 18. Every day, nearly 4,000 minors try their rst cigarette, and of those, nearly 1,000 become daily smokers. While current laws prohibit the sale of tobacco to youth under 18, most youth report acquiring tobacco through social sources like friends and family that are old enough to buy. The Food and Drug Administration, which for the last two years has been given the task of regulating the sale of tobacco products, has implemented some regulations in an effort to make tobacco products less accessible and less appealing to the underage crowd. Federal law now requires large, readily visible warning labels on all tobacco products and also mandates that vendors check ID's for anyone who looks under 27 years of age; self-serve vending machines are restricted to adults-only areas, away from children; vendors may not give away free samples of tobacco products, nor may they sell or give away items such as hats or t-shirts with tobacco company logos. They are also prohibited from breaking open packs of cigarettes or other tobacco products and selling the items individually, a practice that would appeal greatly to minors who might not have much money at any given time to spend on tobacco products. At the local level, Tobacco Free Florida has been surveying local vendors to determine how thoroughly they understand the new regulations and their awareness of the candy avored tobacco issue. The survey also sought to determine whether retailers were willing to reduce the pervasiveness of tobacco advertising within their stores, or even accept items and literature that promote free help available to help people quit a tobacco habit. In combating the tobacco industry's advertising clout, working at the local level and building relationships with area retailers is a way to help minimize the impact of tobacco advertising: a way to reduce its prominence and visibility; a way to educate people, especially youth, about the health risks associated with tobacco use; a way to keep tobacco products out of the hands o f minors and get the word out about the free help available to those who are already addicted and want to quit. Tobacco users who don't manage to quit with their rst attempt shouldn't be discouraged. Nicotine is a powerful addiction and many have to make multiple attempts or even try different methods before they nally make the break. The important thing is, there is free help available. Just ask. For more information on free help available, check out the Tobacco Free Florida website at www.tobaccofree orida.com or call the Florid a Quitline at 1-877UCANNOW (877-822-6669). Hunter Barnes, Bryce Barnes, Roli Loreto, Blake Withlock, Dura Hunter, Ryleigh Flynn, and Troy Wilcher traveled to Olympic Heights High School in Boca Raton this past Saturday as The Tiger Pride Wrestling Club, and competed in the club's fourth tournament of the season. Three out of the seven wrestlers competing took home medals, Hunter Barnes, Bryce Barnes, and Roli Loreto each earned third place. Hunter Barnes wrestled in a total of ve matches winning three of them by way of pin, including a 25 second pin to start out the day. After that, he recorded a 15 second pin in his second match on his way to claiming the bronze medal, w inning his last match by a decision. "Hunter is improving every day. He wrestled in some hard fought matches that came down to the wire. Unfortunately for us, he came out on the losing end," said coach Renaldy, He then added, "Sometimes people get too into the win/loss thing, but it's different when you are dealing with rst year w restlers. The fact is Hunter probably wrestled his best two matches all season in his two loses on Saturday." He was tested by two kids that had y ears of wrestling experience compared to his three months. He wrestled tough and remained in the match right until the end. In both matches a critical mistake cost him some points that ended up being the difference. "You can't coach experience and experience plays a part in matches like that. All of us coaches w ere extremely proud of how he wrestled and we are con dent that in the near future he will come out on top after matches like those," said Coach Renaldy. Roli Loreto won three matches that included two shutouts and a pin taking home the bronze medal. Roli wrestled some very tough young wrestlers from the state rated South Dade wrestling program in the early rounds. After a disappointing overtime loss where he was penalized two points for locking hands, he bounced back pinning his next opponent and winning his last match by the score of 2-0. "You cannot lock hands from the top position in this sport. Locking hands is a mistake that even high school wrestlers commit. Roli did it twice in one of his matches. That gave the other wrestlers two points and that ended up being the difference, but we regrouped and he won two more matches taking home the bronze," commented coach Renaldy. Bryce Barnes took home the team's third medal as he took third place in the tournament. Suffering a rst round loss in an controversial fashion due to a questionable pin, Bryce bounced back winning his next two matches by decision and by way of pin. "The loss in his rst match was a uke, unfortunately I didn't have a good angle from where I was standing to see if he was pinned or not but he answered the bell in the following rounds winning his next two matches. I was thrilled," said coach Renaldy. Ryleigh Flynn wrestled in three matches on Saturday. She defeated an Olympic Heights wrestler in the second round that she had lost to three months ago. "Ryleigh got revenge. She barely lost last time and this time she won big. She always captures the heart of the gym; the whole place clapped and cheered for her after the victory," said Coach Renaldy. Troy Wilcher and Blake Withlock competed in their second tournament this season and Dura Huner in his rst ever tournament. All three wrestlers remained competitive throughout four rounds of competition showing improvement in their wrestling technique. "Troy won two matches by decision. Dura won his rst match by way of pin. Blake wrestled tough in four rounds of completion," said coach Renaldy. He then added, "The age and weight division that all three of those kids wrestle in is very tough. Troy had a tough match with a much more experienced wrestler and both Blake and Dura went up against USA wrestling All-Americans during the tournament. The thing that you take away from those types of matches is how they perform and what needs to be adjusted. Again, experience is not something you can coach, but given the time they have spent in the room practicing, these guys are showing improvement through every match and as a coach that's all you can ask for and build upon." "I would like to thank all the parents who attended the tournament on Saturday to support the young wrestlers in Boca Raton. So many people came to me and said how uni ed we were. It seems that everywhere we go we get the same thing, you guys are the best. Also a special thanks to Coach Robert Flynn and Coach Kris Smith, because without those guys, none of this would be possible," stated Coach Renaldy. The Tiger Pride Wrestling Club will have an exhibition match on Thursday, June 28, at their practice facility in the middle school Fieldhouse at 6 p.m. for parents and any spectators that would like to attend. 2 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee May 27, 2010 L L O O K I N G F F O R M M O T I V A T E D P P E O P L E M A N A G E M E N T P P O S I T I O N S L I T T L E C C A E S A R S C C L E W I S T O N N e e d t t o b b e c c o m m i t t e d t t o e e x c e l l e n c e M a n a g e m e n t e e x p e r i e n c e a a m m u s t F o o d i i n d u s t r y e e x p e r i e n c e a a p p l u s W i l l t t r a i n t t o m m e e t L L i t t l e C C a e s a r s s s t a n d a r d s P a y m e n t s s c h e d u l e b b o n u s s s t r u c t u r e + + b b e n e f i t s Please send resume to cathy@jamapizza.com 8 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee June 28, 2012 Reducing the Impact of Tobacco Advertising on Youth Tiger Pride Wrestling Club Members Earn Bronze SUBMITTED PHOTOTop row: Kris Smith, Robert Flynn, Renaldy Tapia.

The truth is though, that this is not an entirely brand new drug. Legislative action on this drug goes back to 2009 when a North Florida woman attacked her mother with a machete and state lawmakers began the push to ban the product. What are Bath Salts? The drug called Bath Salts is very different from the product that you put into a bath. The only reason why they have the same name is because the products look similar like a ne powder. You will not nd the "bath salt" drug at Bath & Body Works or Bed, Bath and Beyond. The bath salt drug is considered a stimulant; it is made up of several chemicals. The chemicals are synthetic derivatives of cathinone, a central nervous system stimulant, which is an active chemical found naturally in the khat plant. Mephedrone and MDPV (3-4 methylene-dioxypyrovalerone) are two of the designer cathinones most commonly found in these "bath salt" products. "Bath salt" stimulant products are sold in powder form in small plastic or foil packages of 200 and 500 milligrams under various brand names. Street Names include: Bliss, Blue Silk, Cloud Nine, Drone, Energy-1, Ivory Wave, Lunar Wave, Meow Meow, Ocean Burst, Pure Ivory, Purple Wave, Red Dove, Snow Leopard, Stardust, Vanilla Sky, White Dove, White Knight, and White Lightening. What are the effects? People who abuse these substances have reported agitation, insomnia, irritability, dizziness, depression, paranoia, delusions, suicidal thoughts, seizures, and panic attacks. Users have also reported effects including impaired perception of reality, reduced motor control, and decreased ability to think clearly. The speed of onset is 15 minutes, while the length of the high from these drugs is four to six hours. It is especially troubling that the longterm effects of the drug are unknown, because the drug has only been used widely within the past decade. We don't know what the future will hold or exactly how people will be affected So why would a teen or young adult, or anyone for that matter, make a decision to use Bath Salts? For some, it is to get high or escape, but for many others it is to get energy or endurance to make it through the day. Many people not just teens feel overworked and overstressed, and in those situations, a stimulant can have a lot of appeal. Peer pressure or curiosity can play a large role, and often teens don't know what the effects will be until it's too late. Anecdotally, potential users may think that Bath Salts are safer than methamphetamine. They may perceive them to be legal. They may think that they would not test positive at work or at school if they use it. If you walk into some convenience stores or gas stations, you may see a whole display of pills and packages marked as "vitamins" or "energy boosters." Some may be legal, and some may not be. Calls to poison control centers in the US regarding severe reactions and overdoses due to the drug increased dramatically from 300 in 2010 to over 6,000 by the end of 2011.

2 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee May 27, 2010 11 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee June 28, 2012 Getting Lost at the Pub or Getting Lost at the Temple?BY REV. SAM S. THOMAS, PH. D.+ Saint Martins ChurchMy interest was piqued by the international news event when the British Prime Minister inadv ertently left his daughter in a pub after having lunch. Apparently, the family was eating there, and mother and father arrived in different cars. W hen they left, each thought the other had taken their eight-year old daughter home, but she was nowhere to be found. They promptly returned to the pub, (she had gone to the restroom when her parents had left) and they found her safe and sound. The staff at the pub provided for her wellbeing in the interim, no doubt with light conversation and a chance to chat with a special eight-year old. The issue turned quickly to those charged w ith guarding the Prime Minister and his family. W here was security? There certainly was a lapse that should not have occurred. An announcement was made that there would be no imposition of blame or penalties; an oversight with no undue consequences, and the matter was ended. Some of the news commentators pointed out to a similar lapse recently that took place in Colombia. Apparently the U. S. Secret Service contingent assigned to guard the President was distracted. The circumstances were different; people got red, some were allowed to end their careers, the investigation was ongoing. New rules were promulgated; same standards that you would nd in the U.S. for our agents overseas; no exceptions even if the local rules allow for different behavior. If the overseas rules were some sort of professional "perk," don't count on it in the future! There is a biblical parallel to what happened to the Prime Minister's daughter. Jesus' family goes to the temple when He is twelve-years-old. They meet their obligations and leave. People assume He is with other family members; then a day later nd out He is missing. They retrace their steps, and after three days nd Him in deep discussion with the rabbis. Jesus' parents are upset but His reply is "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" You can read the account for yourself in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 2, verses 41-52. The account concludes by noting that "His mother treasured all of these things in her heart (verse 51)." Apparently, under dif cult circumstances for her, Mary was pleased with what her son was doing while they were separated. The Prime Minister's daughter was attended to by the employees at the pub; circumstances where she found herself but not misusing the time, going wild, going berserk, acting out. Time spent in extraordinary circumstances, outside of our normal environments, beyond our day-today routines is time to be redeemed, put to use, regarded as an opportunity to see and learn something new we might not otherwise get to see. Scriptures speak of "redeeming the time" and the Lord gives us a great example. The parable might be good reading for those who are charged with protecting others, too. Religion Column quality orange juice and citrus by-products, believes that becoming a grower member of the Florida's Natural Growers Cooperative provides a great opportunity to enhance its presence and growth in the Florida citrus industry," stated Rick Kress, President of Southern Gardens. Kress said that Southern Gardens' fruit commitment to Florida's Natural will continue to be processed at its Southern Gardens Citrus Processing Plant and that this partnership will operate in conjunction with other initiatives recently completed and/or in progress to ensure Southern Garden's long term presence in the Florida citrus industry. Company efforts to develop and commercialize a viable solution to the citrus greening disease are progressing to the point that application for a required Emergency Use Field trial permit will occur by late 2012. The total conversion from fuel oil to natural gas will be completed in advance of the 2012/13 harvest, emphasizing facility sustainability and the environmental stewardship. In response to the Florida citrus industry's continued shortage of high quality nursery trees, Southern Gardens is completing a 50 percent expansion of its nursery operation in Trenton, FL. The nursery was built to provide trees to replant Southern Gardens groves. Southern Garden's parent company, U.S. Sugar Corporation, is in the process of extending its railroad service to the citrus operation, enabling all future shipments of its citrus products to be transported via rail, removing a signi cant number of truck traf c from the local road system. As part of its "Ground to the Glass" business strategy, Southern Gardens is expanding its grove vertical integration program involving grove care, harvesting and haul programs for other interested Florida growers. Kress concludes by noting that "Florida's Natural is a leading national brand of citrus products and including a portion of Southern Gardens' fruit portfolio in this partnership will strengthen and grow both companies-now and in the future."

Students recognized for FCAT scores and exemplary resultsBY GIGI MEZZIO Clewiston Middle SchoolClewiston Middle School family were recently greeted at the door to the school gymnasium by Superintendent Rick Murphy and school guidance counselor, Sue Aiken along with her assistant, Carol Cook. Seventh grade students smiled brightly as they handed out programs for the eighth grade Achievement Ceremony on W ednesday, June 6, at 10 a.m. A full auditorium of eagerly awaiting parents and families of eighth graders hurriedly found seats for the event and anxiously prepared to enter the school gym. After the eighth graders  led in, special dignitaries were introduced by Principal Ensor. Mr. Ensor also introduced the class teachers amidst thunderous applause from their students. Student Brandon Walker thrilled the audience w ith his electric guitar rendition of The National A nthem. M.C. and school Dean Rosa Perez recognized the accomplishments of student athletes in all sports, including a favorite: cheerleading. She then commended the various campus clubs who proudly represented CMS at all district, regional, and state conferences/competitions. Media Specialist, Veronica Roquette, saluted Karen Velezquez for achieving the highest AR points -a whopping 552 points! The four students to earn straight As for the entire school year w ere Alyssa Avant, Kacie Durance, Myles Polhill, and Laice-Lyne Varnum. The three students to make a level 5 on FCAT Writes were Alyssa Avant, J enna Powell, and Angel Lopez. There were also three students who achieved perfect attendance for the entire school year -Melyssa Sanchez, Tahira Thomas, and Jennifer Delgado. Two students received college scholarships. These outstanding students were Micaela Lowman, who received the Governors Recognition Scholarship, and Xavier Contreras, who received the Take Stock in Children Scholarship. One student, Ross Mack, received a level 5 on the FCAT Science. There were 20 Level 5 Achievers in Reading and as many in Math. Superintendent Rick Murphy delivered an encouraging, heartfelt address to the outgoing eighth graders. He recognized math teacher Ms. Worley, as one hundred percent of her students achieved a passing grade in Algebra I, for which they will receive a high school credit. Mr. Murphy then turned the attention to the dual enrollment program, where high school students are able to earn college credits at the local Edison College while attending high school -encouraging students to take advantage of the program. He also identi ed several new programs at Clewiston High School, such as Criminal Justice and 911 training on campus that entitles students to receive certi cation. He informed the students of scholarship possibilities that are offered -Bright Futures, community scholarships, and military scholarships. You need to have goals -a plan -and focus on that plan, the superintendent said. Its up to you to make sure that plan will be achieved. Everybodys got a plan. Stick to it. Get it done and go Tigers! Jessica Trinka belted out a nostalgic rendition of I Believe I Can Fly, with her classmates waving their hands in the air as she sang. Ms. Roquette announced each students name and Principal Ensor and Asst. Principal Johnston presented medals of achievement to each student. The teachers then presented awards. Social Studies teacher, Canaan Lentz, announced that many students, for one reason or another, were not present. He informed the assembly that 20 percent of the students in eighth grade were not graduating out of middle school. He added that many dont like being in school but in the next years when youre not sure if you will make it, I want you to think about two things: Think what a waste it would be of 12 years you have been stuck in school and not even getting a diploma. And think of this moment and that you are over half way there to graduation. He awarded his medallion for 98 percent GPA to Jorge Vidal. Ms. Powell, who teaches math to both eighth grade teams, stated that they had all been working long and hard. In the end they have accomplished much. Mentioning FCAT gains she disclosed that 65 percent of her students exceeded the average in state FCAT results. Her medallion winner was Alyssa Garrett. Ms. Durances choice for Reading was Cosme Mendoza and Ms Vary, in 8A Science, was Kevin Vasquez. Ms. Leiva, Language Arts instructor, seemed thrilled that four of her students held a 93 percent GPA, one whom was her medallion recipient, Karen Velasquez. Team 8A collectively chose one student who possessed the most exemplary qualities of all, who also met the scholarship criteria along with excellent leadership qualities, straight A student Jenna Powell. Ms. Irey, Reading Resource teacher and AVID leader, talked about the groups accomplishments and sel essness. She told them that they are the drivers of their own destiny. She awarded her golden binder to Aaron Johnson. Science teacher Mr. Gwyn gave his medallion to Lacie Lyn Varnum and 8B Math instructor, Ms. Worley, gave her award to Emily Shamsunder, and presented the medallion for Algebra I to Myles Polhill, who only missed one question on his EOC (end of course) exam. Reading Instructor Ms. Stein told her eighth graders that the more they read, the more the y know, and the more they know, the further the y will go. Her medallion winner was Kasey Durance. Ms. Allen, 8B Social Studies teacher, enthusiastically handed her medallion to Alkeri a Jackson and urged all of the students to believe in yourself, while Ms Chesler, from the Language Arts department, smilingly placed hers around Marissa Espinos neck. The student who received 8Bs award across the disciplines was Ross Mack. Ms. Kristi Durance gave the closing remarks. She wisely described life as a book split into chapters. You are now going into a new one -high school. Your education is the most important thing on your to-do list. Nobodys saying that its going to be easy, but you have what it takes to be successful, she said. 2 Serving the communities south of Lake Okeechobee May 27, 2010 Highway 721 west of Lake Okeechobee on the Brighton Seminole Indian ReservationMust be 18 years old to play Bingo.

Heavy rainfall at the start of the wet season boosted water suppliesBY RANDY SMITH SFWMDAn early start to the wet season boosted water supplies and allowed the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Governing Board to rescind the Water Shortage Warning order today. This is the rst time since November 2010 that the District is not under a warning or water shortage conditions. The District had been in an extended dry period that included record-setting drought conditions, with a Water Shortage Warning in effect to encourage conservation and indicate a water shortage may be imminent. However, abovenormal rainfall in the last two months replenished most of the 16-county region at the start of what is forecast to be an average or aboveaverage wet season. "It's a positive sign to see water supplies lling up after a long stretch of below-normal rainfall," said SFWMD Governing Board Chairman Joe Collins. "But no matter what the weather brings, the District remains ready for the inevitable weather extremes in South Florida, whether it's a drought, tropical storm or hurricane." South Florida's wet season started early this year, resulting in May 2012 rainfall being 160 percent of the historical average for the month. The District is storing as much of this water as possible, while balancing ood control responsibilities. At 11.8 feet NGVD, Lake Okeechobee is 1.38 feet below normal for this time of year. However, it is a foot above the water shortage management level, and wet season rains are anticipated to improve lake levels over the next few weeks.Water Shortage WarningWhile parts of the District were under a Water Shortage Warning starting in November 2010, all water users in the 16-county region were subject to mandatory restrictions beginning in March 2011. Over the following months, water levels quickly declined during the height of the dry season and much-needed rainfall failed to materialize. The emergency water shortage orders remained in place for the duration of the belownormal 2011 wet season. In response to heavy October 2011 rainfall and the District's success in capturing and storing much of that water, the Governing Board in November rescinded all previous water shortage orders and issued a District-wide Water Shortage Warning going into the 2011-2012 dry season. The warning is no longer needed after the system recovered from the driest months.Water Conservation is a Year-Round EthicWhen water shortage orders are not in place, the District follows Year-Round Water Conservation Measures that target outdoor irrigation, which accounts for up to half of water use in South Florida. The Year-Round Landscape Irrigation Rule is just one of many initiatives implemented under the District's Comprehensive Water Conservation Program. The Comprehensive Water Conservation Program was approved by the SFWMD Governing Board in September 2008 to encourage more responsible use of water resources throughout South Florida. Numerous stakeholders worked with the District to de ne speci c regulatory, voluntary and incentive-based programs and indepth education and marketing efforts that help to foster a year-round conservation ethic.
